Blackbird and Chameleon: The Intermission
It's taken a while but real life has taken over a little bit. However here is part two of the Intermission chapter.
Part Two
After the surprise that had been Sarah using her magic to reach her Daddy during the training session, Harry had been reluctant to take the twins back to the Triskelion. The alternative though had seen him on his own in their large home with no one but the twins for company. Since moving to America Harry had not made any friends aside from those that were Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and they all had their jobs to do.
Harry felt entirely alone here, especially with Steve and Teddy at the special training centre. He yearned for home and for the friends he had there, as much as he loved his children and loved spending every waking moment with them, it was hard to do it alone. He knew that he shouldn't complain, he had an adoring fiancé who loved him and he loved back, he had three wonderful children who were all extremely talented but that didn't make him any less lonely.
When Fury had approached him it had given Harry a sense of purpose again and now he knew that that was what he needed. He was not meant to be sat at home minding his children, he needed more than that, he wanted adrenaline, excitement. He wanted to go back to being an Auror or a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent again. Of course he couldn't help but feel guilty about this, as if his children weren't enough, which of course they were but he didn't want to just be a mother, he needed to be more than that.
Unbeknown to Steve, Harry had made arrangements to come in and see Phil again; Harry wanted to talk to him in more detail about his plans to form a team. He wanted in on it as more than just a consultant. It was unfortunate that he had to take the twins, but he didn't have anyone that he trusted enough to look after them. It had been just over two weeks since he had last been to the Triskelion and the only reason he had left the house was to go to the supermarket and to take the children to the park.
"Harry," Phil greeted as Harry walked up to the Triskelion entrance. He had walked from his home, it wasn't too far, and as it had been a nice day, Harry had rather enjoyed the walk and it had worked wonders in sending his two children off to sleep. They had chosen their home very specifically so that Steve could be close to work but if Harry or their children needed him then he could be there in a hurry. Steve had already missed the birth of his children, he had been determined that he wasn't going to miss anything else.
"Hey, Phil, how are you?" Harry said, keeping one hand on the pushchair as he came round to embrace his friend in a brief hug. The two of them had spoken only briefly over the two weeks since Harry had been there last, there had been a vigilante attack on a man who had had questionable morals, Coulson had thought Harry might want to look into; however, with Steve busy, Harry had not been able to find anyone to look after the twins and so Phil had had to send another agent. So far they had come back with nothing.
"Well," Phil responded, motioning towards the training centre, indicating that this was where they were heading, "I've been watching young Teddy. He is rather impressive for a ten year old, he's running rings around the other trainees."
"There hasn't been any more trouble after the first day?" Harry asked as he angled the pushchair and started to head towards the training centre. Harry had been told about the three bullies that had targeted Teddy and he hadn't been happy about it, though Natasha had told him that the ten year old had handled the situation perfectly.
"No," Phil said with a small smile on his face, "strangely enough they've all been rather respectful of him since the scene that was caused in the canteen. It was rather impressive," Coulson said as the two of them reached the training centre. Harry wanted to see for himself the progress that Teddy was making, which was why he had suggested they have their discussion here rather than in the Triskelion itself.
"I can't wait to see him in action today," Harry said as Phil held the door open for him. He knew that the twins were going to be awake soon and wanting feeding.
"I thought you knew," Phil said, his brow furrowed in confusion. He had had no idea that Harry had not been told that because of Teddy's rather unique abilities and the promise that he had shown while he had been training, the ten year old had been selected to help on an assignment. They couldn't have sent in an adult because the target was a child herself.
"Thought I knew what?" Harry asked, turning and looking at Phil accusingly. He had no idea what Coulson thought he knew but now that he knew he was being kept in the dark, Harry wanted to know what it was that was being hidden from him. Whatever it was he knew that he wasn't going to like it, especially not if it involved Teddy.
"There was a special mission and we needed someone young and out of all the trainee's here, Teddy was the one who was selected. He was the best available, Steve said that he would tell you," Phil said, absolutely horrified that Harry had not been informed of this mission. He had honestly never thought that Steve would hide something of this magnitude from Harry.
"What kind of mission?" Harry asked angrily. He could hardly contain his rage at the fact that Steve had failed to tell him that he had sanctioned their ten year old son going on any kind of mission. Knowing S.H.I.E.L.D. as he did, Harry didn't think that it was going to be an easy or risk-free mission and he didn't feel right knowing that Teddy was out there.
"I'm not sure…" Phil began to say, casting a glance to the pushchair holding Sarah and JJ, unsure if he should share any information. He didn't want to see Harry rush off into an unknown situation at the drop of a hat, putting himself and the twins in danger.
"You said yourself that I was meant to have been told," Harry snapped irritably, "please just tell me where my Godson is," he argued desperately. Logically he knew that he couldn't do anything, not when he had his two babies with him, not to mention if he did make a move then he could potentially put Teddy in even more danger than he was already in.
"I'll take you to Steve," Coulson said with a sigh, "I think that he needs to be the one to tell you what is going on," he said, hating that he had been the one to break this to Harry. It should never have happened like this, he was angry that Harry hadn't been kept informed of what Teddy was getting up to. Phil might not have been a family man himself but he couldn't condone what Steve and Fury had done by not telling Harry.
"I think that that would be best," Harry responded curtly. He wasn't angry at Coulson, it wasn't his fault that this had happened. Harry was only grateful that he had told him now, even though it was a little late, however he was extremely angry with Steve, who not only had sent their ten year old into a mission without consulting him, he had also not gone with him to keep an eye on him and to keep him safe.
It was taking a lot for Harry to keep hold of the last threads of his temper as he followed Coulson towards the room where the training had been taking place the last time he had been there. He wanted to rant and rave and scream at someone for letting this happen, but he also wanted to make sure that anger was directed at the right person and not at Coulson, because at the moment it felt like Agent Coulson was pretty much the only man being upfront with him.
"Woah," a man said as he stepped out of the training room and almost collided with a rather angry Harry. Ward had not been expecting to see either Coulson or the angry young man as he had left to go to the little boys' room.
"Steve still in there?" Harry asked and Grant nodded, feeling a little confused about what was going on. He looked to Coulson who shook his head, warning Ward not to say anything. "Phil, please keep an eye on Sarah and JJ, I don't particularly want them to see this."
"I've got them," Coulson assured him, just hoping that the twins would stay asleep and that Sarah wouldn't do that trick she had done last time. But it was quite obvious that there would be no stopping Harry now and at least this way he could try to keep the twins safe.
"What's going on?" Ward asked, as he watched Harry storm through the doors into the training arena. "Should he really be going in there?"
"Harry will be fine, it is probably Rogers we should worry about," Coulson told him, moving over to one of the large windows into the room so he could at least watch what was going on just in case, making sure that he pulled the pushchair along with him, he wasn't going to be taking any chances with these two little ones. "Think our newest recruits are about to get a demonstration on how to handle a Super Solider."
"Isn't he a super soldier?" Ward asked as he too moved to the large windows so that he could see what was going on. He had heard the stories of Blackbird and of course he knew the legend of Captain America. It seemed that he was now going to get a first hand view of what the two of them were capable of.
Through the window he could see Harry striding towards Captain America, the trainees starting to notice his presence and muttering amongst themselves, wondering what was going on. He couldn't hear what it was that Harry shouted but Rogers looked both surprised and a little alarmed as he turned towards the smaller enraged man.
"Does Rogers look nervous to you?" Ward asked Coulson curiously. There were not many who were a match for Captain America, and he would not have believed the little Brit one of them, but now he was second guessing that assessment.
"Blackbird is not a man to be underestimated," Phil said as a small noise sounded from the lower seat in the pushchair. "He is a valuable agent for this organisation with extraordinary abilities, just because he doesn't look like a match for Steve, doesn't mean that he can't take him."
Ward looked suitably impressed as Harry threw the first punch and Steve, looking entirely taken aback by it, blocked the blow but only just. He only moved to defend himself as Harry lashed out at him but he never made a move to retaliate, only defend himself as Harry shouted and hit out at him. The small noise in the pushchair, however, escalated from a small whimper to a cry as JJ made himself known.
"Are you going to deal with that?" Ward asked, not taking his eyes off the escalating fight between the two men. Children made him rather uncomfortable and even if he was rather interested in these particular two that still didn't mean that he had any desire to get closer to them than was necessary.
"I don't know what I'm doing," Phil said nervously as he knelt down, unclipped JJ from his car seat and picked him up, trying not to show the little boy where his parents were, remembering all too well what Sarah had done the last time they had been here. He didn't want JJ getting the same idea, copying his sister and putting himself in the middle of the rather violent fight that his parents were having. The problem was that JJ's crying had also stirred Sarah, who didn't like that her brother was getting more attention than her.
"Da," Sarah screeched from inside her car seat, straining against the straps to get out.
"Where is their mother?" Ward asked, looking at Sarah curiously, he couldn't help but wonder how it was that two agents of S.H.I.E.L.D had come to have two children with such remarkable talents. He was certainly very interested in the two young children and their abilities.
"Harry's their mother, as I said, he has extraordinary abilities, now please do me a favour and pick her up will you," Coulson said as he tried valiantly to sooth JJ as his sister cried out to be picked up as well. She really didn't like it when her brother got more attention than she did.
"He's a guy though," Grant said as he did as Coulson had asked him, unclipping Sarah from her car seat and picking her up. This did very little to calm the young girl, however, as she continued to screech unhappily for her Da who was in no position to answer his daughter's cries, too busy dealing with her irate mother.
"An extraordinary one," Phil said as he tried to sooth the young boy in his arms, he had no idea what he was meant to do with the two upset children or what they needed. He had no idea what he was supposed to do to make them stop crying.
"So those two are their natural parents?" Ward asked motioning to the fighting pair in the training room, seemingly impressed as he surveyed the sobbing girl with more interest now. If the twins were the byproduct of both Captain America and Blackbird then they were extremely valuable. He had been watching Teddy very carefully, knowing that he was a valuable asset to have on side, but he was slightly less valuable now that he knew about these two.
"Yes," Phil said, still struggling with the crying child in his arms, the noise of it starting to trigger a headache as he went for their changing bags to see if there was anything inside that might stop the incessant screaming.

"Our son!" Harry shouted. "He's our son, you bastard, and you let him go on a mission, alone!" Steve simply continued to block each blow that Harry dealt to him as he yelled at him. The super soldier didn't know what to say in response, he had known that it was a bad idea not to tell Harry but in all honesty he had been a little scared about how his fiancé would react. Clearly he had been right about that at least.
"Technically he's your Godson," Steve said without really thinking, then realising just how that had sounded, he very quickly tried to rectify the situation, "and he's more than capable of taking care of himself. The last two weeks here have shown me that."
"He's ten years old!" Harry raged back, not able to fully believe that Steve had allowed their son to do something like this. The super soldier trusted S.H.I.E.L.D. a lot more than Harry ever could, especially when it came to the safety of his children.
"He wanted to go, Harry. It was his choice to make and I just supported him, I thought you would understand that." Steve knew that he couldn't really justify what he had done, though it had been Teddy's decision, he just hadn't made any move to expressly forbidden him to go. Not telling Harry was where the trouble was, he knew that was where he had gone wrong, but he had known that Harry would have said no without even stopping to think and Steve had wanted to give Teddy this chance. "I heard about the things you did when you were not much older than him."
"And they nearly killed me!" Harry shouted in frustration. He had at the very least stopped hitting Steve now but the two of them were shouting at one another in the middle of the training room with all of the trainees plus Clint watching them have their domestic.
"Maybe he's stronger than that, he's had training, you never did and he has Natasha with him," Steve said and these words only made Harry scream at him in rage, raising his fist and punching his fiancé again.
"How dare you!" Harry raged as Steve once again only blocked the punches that Harry threw. He didn't care how angry they were at one another, he wasn't prepared to fight physically with Harry, though clearly the feeling wasn't mutual. "You know how much that fucked me up! How dare you say that Teddy is stronger because he's had some training!"
"I know," Steve said softly, reaching for Harry to try and calm him, "but things are different for Teddy. He isn't alone, it isn't him against the world and at the end of the day he comes home to us, his family," he pointed out.
"Some fucking family," Harry griped, still looking furious. He didn't care that Teddy was coming home to them at the end of the day, that only made it worse, it meant that his Godson had lied to him too, at the very least he had banded together with Steve to not tell him the truth and that hurt Harry a lot.
The mention of their family triggered something for Steve though, and he looked behind his fiancé with concern. "Wait, where are the twins?" he asked, panicking a little. He knew that Harry wouldn't have trusted anyone to take care of them and then he realised that Harry wasn't even meant to be here today. For a brief second, Steve thought that something had happened to the twins and Harry had come to get him but as there was no worry in Harry's eyes, only anger, it calmed Steve a little.
"Oh so them you worry about, guess that's because they are yours by blood," Harry snapped; he was so angry with the way Steve was acting. The two of them were supposed to be getting married in twelve days and right now Harry really wasn't sure that he wanted to go through with it.
"That's not fair and you know it," Steve argued back, "I have been nothing but a great Dad to that kid, I love him."
"Not enough to stop him going off at some suicide mission at ten years old!"
"It isn't a suicide mission," Steve said firmly. "I wouldn't let him go anywhere that he'd be hurt, he's gone to recruit another unique individual for the Index. She's eleven and scared, we thought someone her age would help her relax a little." Steve was trying his very best to explain things to Harry but he knew that it was unlikely that his fiancé was going to calm down.
It was a struggle not to say too much, there were too many people watching and listening to what they were going. Clint had not had the sense to clear the room, he was stood amongst them watching and listening just as eagerly to what was going on as any of the teenagers were.
"And that children is why you don't mess with either of these two," Clint said with a grin. "Lunch time i think," he added after taking a moment to hide his smirk. Harry sent the man a withering glare but said nothing to him, waiting in silence as the teenagers filed out of the room. Clint, however, did not go with them and very shortly they were joined by Phil and Grant who were carrying each of the twins.
"Da," Sarah screeched from where she was being held by a rather awkward looking Ward, who wasn't quite sure what to do with her. Grant looked even more alarmed when the little girl threw herself towards her Daddy and he only just managed to steady her in time to keep from dropping her.
"It's okay," Steve said, coming forward and holding out his hands to take her, sighing as Sarah giggled happily at being back with her Daddy, fisting a little hand in his t-shirt, rubbing her face on his shoulder.
"I want to know that Teddy's safe," Harry said as Phil handed over JJ to him. "You must have some form of contact with Nat if she's with him."
"We do," Phil said with a nod, knowing that Harry deserved this. It wouldn't do any harm to the mission to allow Harry contact with Natasha to assure that Teddy was okay. If Steve had done what he had said that he was going to and actually told Harry what was going on then they wouldn't be in this situation. "I'll take you to the control room, you'll be able to contact Black Widow from there."

Harry had been pleasantly surprised when Teddy had successfully completed the mission he had set out to do with Natasha. The eleven year old girl, Misty Taylor, whom Teddy had been tasked with recruiting into S.H.I.E.L.D had been won around by the idea and after two weeks Misty had joined and not only that but her and Teddy were very close friends. In fact he couldn't stop talking about her, which Harry thought was adorably cute.
It was now the 31st of August 2013 and that meant only one thing to Harry and Steve, their wedding day. It had taken a lot for them to get there, a fair few arguments and Steve had solemnly sworn that he would never keep something like that from Harry again. They had mostly put their differences aside and they both wanted this so they were going through with it, despite both of them being a bundle of nerves.
Steve was currently in a hotel with the rest of the Avengers preparing for the big day whereas Harry was at home with his three children and the entire Weasley clan, which included Hermione, Rose and newborn Hugo who had been born two months earlier on the 15th June.
"They are eating that much solids already?" Ron asked in surprise, giving Hugo a bottle as he watched Harry spooning mashed carrots into each of the twins mouths in turn. Harry was wearing the suit that he was due to marry Steve in, in just two hours time and trying desperately not to get it covered in orange stains. Both Sarah and JJ were desperate to feed themselves but they only seemed to be able to make a mess. Most of the food going on the floor and in their hair rather than their mouths.
"Because of Steve their development is a little ahead of where it should be," Harry said with a sigh as he encouraged his fussy little girl to eat. She had been grizzling all morning because she hadn't seen her Daddy, she wasn't happy until she had had her morning cuddles with Steve. JJ was just sat waiting patiently for his turn to be fed, more than happy to wait, however, Sarah lacked the patience that her brother had and would scream if the food was not shovelled into her mouth quickly enough.
"They're what, seven months old?" Ron queried as he cradled his two month old son in his arms. Hermione had taken two year old Rose for a walk as the toddler had been becoming a little restless. Fleur had gone with her, taking four year old Dominique as well, just to get the restless ones out of the house for a while before the ceremony. The hope was that they would sleep through the important part.
Bill was currently upstairs, wrestling with his eldest daughter, Victoire, trying to get her into her pretty dress, however she wasn't having any of it because her mother was not there to do her hair in the way that she wanted it. Charlie wasn't helping at all of course, he was instead laughing his head off as he held his nephew, Louis on one hip.
Percy and Audrey had not been able to make it as their eldest daughter Molly had fallen ill but they had sent their apologies and kindest regards. Molly senior and Arthur were of course rushing around trying to make sure that everything was ready and everyone was dressed in time, organising everything that needed to be organised. Ginny was trying her best to help her mother while also supporting eight month old Dora in one arm.
Since Christmas, Ginny and Justin had broken up and got back together several times but they had had a major falling out the day before they were due to come to America and Justin had decided not to join them and had kicked up a fuss about Ginny taking Dora. She had of course taken her anyway but Harry's understanding of the situation was that it wasn't great.
"Yes," Harry responded with a smile, ignoring Sarah's squawks as he fed JJ another spoon of orange goo, "though developmentally they're more nine or ten months. I know a lot of children don't speak at all until they're a year but these two have some basic words down now. It's scary how quickly they grow up."
"Tell me about it," Ron said with a sigh, looking down at his second child wistfully, "I can't believe Rosie is two already, I don't know where the time's gone."
"Mum, do I look alright?" Teddy asked, coming into the kitchen with his hair electric blue, matching the tie he was wearing. The ten year old look adorably cute in his black three piece suit; he had naturally been made best man by Harry and was taking the role very seriously.
"You look like the most handsome young man I have ever seen," Harry told him, giving his older son a warm smile before quickly feeding Sarah another spoonful when she squealed in protest about waiting. "And I am quite certain that Misty will agree," he added, chuckling as Teddy nodded nervously before rushing out of the room again.
"Misty?" Ron asked curiously.
"This sweet little eleven year old girl he met at S.H.I.E.L.D.," Harry told him. "Teddy is totally smitten, particularly with her ability to make herself invisible which is, and I quote, the most awesome wicked thing of all time."
"Mum, mum, mum," Teddy said as he hurried back into the room, waiting for Harry to look his way before asking, "purple hair or blue?" changing his hair to demonstrate.
"Stick with the blue," Harry said with a laugh, "though maybe put some red highlights in there because then you'll match Steve and me too," he added with a laugh. The two grooms would be wearing red ties, their colour theme tying into Captain America's uniform.
"Come on then, dear," Molly said bustling into the room as Teddy charged back out again. "You go and finish getting yourself ready, I'll finish up with these two little darlings," she said with a fond smile to Sarah and JJ. The woman had countless grandchildren already but she still counted these two and Teddy as her own too.

"If you don't stop fidgeting you're going to wear out that suit before you even get down the aisle," Clint teased the obviously nervous Steve, the archer fixing his own, electric blue tie. It was a bit darker than the shade of his hair but he was still happy that he looked pretty damn good.
"Harry is just going to rip it off him later anyway," Tony said with a broad grin on his face. He too looked stunning in his black three piece suit and electric blue tie. Steve was really starting to wonder why he had picked these two as his best men, he would have much preferred Teddy, however, Harry had bagged him pretty quickly.
"Oh leave him be," Bruce said affectionately, winking at Steve, "I think it's good that he's finally making an honest man out of Harry," he added with a smile, glancing over to Natasha with a lustful look in his eyes. He really had to stop thinking about her in that way.
"It's about time too," Natasha said, coming into the room from the adjoining bathroom, having just put on her blue and red cocktail dress, her hair tied up in an elaborate bun. Of course she was armed, she never went anywhere without a gun, she just hoped not to have to use it.
"Especially seeing as they have babies," Clint said and Steve only groaned, knowing that this was only going to open up a flood gate of wit and sarcasm from Tony, who of course did not disappoint with his comments.
"And your wedding night is not an excuse to be making more just because you're child free," he said with a devious smile on his face as Steve threw himself back on the bed, hands covering his face. He had no idea why he was doing this, of course he loved Harry but was that really enough to stand up in front of all their friends and family and be stared at all day and all night? He didn't think that it was, he was really starting to wish that they had eloped in Vegas.
"Try not to destroy the furniture," Natasha said, "we all know how carried away the two of you can get," she said, rather enjoying the red blush she could see starting to creep over the super soldier's cheeks even with his hands covering the majority of his face.
"Please stop," Steve begged, "I'm nervous enough as it is without thinking about the wedding night as well."
"Thinking that you won't be able to perform?" Tony said with a cruel laugh, enjoying himself far too much. "Shall we get you something to help you out?" he asked and Steve only groaned at the suggestions. That was the one thing that he just didn't need.
"Never mind the wedding night," Bruce said, preferring not to think of his two friends going at it, "if we don't leave in the next ten minutes he's going to be late to his own wedding." This of course had Steve jumping to his feet at once in a panic. The last thing he needed was to not be there on time.

"Your parents looked so handsome," Misty said with a dreamy expression on her face. Her honey blond hair had been elaborately braided for the occasion, Phil had even bought her a new dress so that she could attend the wedding.
Currently they were sat outside of the reception venue waiting for the grooms to arrive. The two of them had disappeared off in their limo while the guests had been transported to the reception venue, though there was no sign of them just yet and it had been a little while, far longer than was needed.
"You look really pretty too," Teddy said with a shy smile. He really liked her and he was feeling very nervous around her. Though in the back of his mind he knew that he would be going to Hogwarts in a year but that gave them a whole year if she liked him too.
Misty couldn't hide the blush that covered her cheeks, even though she tried to by bowing her head and looking at her shoes, it made Teddy happy to see her blush, it meant that she liked being complemented by him. "I've always liked the idea of weddings," she said, glancing up and looking at him, "I've never been to one though."
"I think I have, I don't really remember though," Teddy said with a shrug of his shoulders. He was pretty sure that he had gone to his Aunt and Uncle's wedding when they had got married four years previously but he had only been six at the time.
"I don't ever want to get married," Misty said, "I don't like people looking at me, all that attention is a little scary," she said with an involuntary shudder.
"I really like looking at you," Teddy said, unable to look at her as he did. "When we're older we can get married but you can be invisible so you don't have to have anyone looking at you," he said, looking down at his shoes, almost giving out a small yelp when Misty placed a quick kiss to Teddy's cheek.
"Oh look, your parents are here," Misty said, pointing as the huge limo pulled up close to the door, the tinted windows not allowing them to see inside the vehicle. Teddy grinned happy, jumping to his feet as the door opened and Harry climbed out, promptly followed by Steve.
"Hey, Teddy," Harry greeted, holding out his arms and welcoming his eldest into them for a hug. "And Misty," he added, giving the nervous looking girl a smile, before she promptly went invisible.
"What happened to your hair, dad?" Teddy asked, looking up Steve with a confused expression and causing Harry to snort in amusement as Steve hurried to straighten himself up a bit more from his slightly dishevelled state.
"Nothing you need to worry about," Harry told assured his son as the three of them headed towards the door to the reception, definitely not about to enlighten the ten year old on what the two of them had been up to. "Misty, if you're still here, head back inside," he said to the area in general, not having any clue where she had gone.
"She's still here," Teddy said as he felt someone grasp at his hand, though when he looked down there was nothing there, he knew that it had to be her. "You can stay with me," he promised her in a whisper, as they followed Steve and Harry into the large reception room, filled with all their cheering and clapping family and friends.
"Why don't you go sit will Sarah and JJ," Harry suggested to his son, nodding over in the direction of Molly, who was watching over the twins, knowing that Teddy was going to quickly get bored while he and Steve has to thank everyone for coming, and let everyone congratulate them.
-x
The evening was long and filled with plenty of alcohol and merriment. Molly and Arthur had taken Sarah and JJ home with them quite early on when the twins hadn't stopped fussing, clearly needing to go to sleep after the excitement of the day. Phil was due to take Teddy and Misty home when they got tired but currently the two youngsters were no where to be seen.
It was something expected from Misty but it shouldn't have been so easy for Teddy, though he could look like anyone. Harry wasn't too worried, despite Coulson's concerns, he trusted his Godson not to do something stupid. Plus he was far too busy dancing with Steve, the two of them having spent a lot of time on the dance floor. Harry had secretly been taking dance lessons, just to make sure that the two of them would be able to dance.
Steve had shared his past with Harry, telling him all about Peggy and how he had never got that dance with her. Harry knew how huge it would be if he learnt how to dance for the era in which Steve had been brought up. Their first dance had been beautiful and Steve had teared up by the end of it, so happy that he had finally married the mother of his children.
Harry couldn't help but laugh when Percy's eldest daughter, Molly, danced past him with an apparently invisible partner. He genuinely thought that he had drunk a little too much and was seeing things because he knew that little Molly had not been able to make it as she was poorly. Instantly Harry knew exactly who it was that had disguised himself as Molly and who 'she' was dancing with too.
"Is that…" Steve asked as he followed the dancing girl with his eyes, the incomplete question only making Harry laugh harder.
"Yep, but leave them be," Harry said, he was finding it hilariously funny that Phil was looking rather panicked at the fact he had lost his charges.
Steve, however, was a little more concerned for the welfare of Coulson's sanity than Harry was and didn't hesitate to send Teddy a rather pointed glare. Though he had to admit that he did admire the confidence that the ten year old had, to be able to dance around all night as a five year old girl just to make a friend happy. He actually thought it rather sweet.
Harry couldn't believe how happy he felt; he had had so many doubts about going through with the wedding, especially after all the difficulties the two of them had had as a couple but he didn't regret it now. Standing in the middle of the dance floor, in the arms of his husband, he knew that whatever happened next, he had made the right decision by marrying his super soldier.
-x
Exhausted but happy Steve had carried Harry up to their hotel room, Harry giggling all the way as he was a little light headed from all of the alcohol that he had consumed. Steve of course was completely sober, alcohol having no affect on him. Though he did rather like the giggling mass that it seemed to reduce Harry to.
It was gone midnight on the first night that they were husband and husband and Steve couldn't wait to consummate their marriage. It had been a long time since the two of them had had the opportunity to spend the night alone, just the two of them. Teddy was being watched by Coulson along with Misty, the two of them having thought it a great idea to have a sleepover together. Molly had both Sarah and JJ at their home, more than happy to look after the adorable seven month olds.
"Do you think that Phil is going to survive taking care of Misty as well as Teddy for the evening?" Harry asked, biting his lip with worry. His Godson had thought that it was a wonderful idea but the two of them had been running rings around poor Phil all evening and Harry was a little concerned that the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent had bitten off more than he could chew with those two.
"Yes," Steve said in return as he lay Harry down upon the king sized bed, standing over him and undressing him with his eyes, "I'm sure that he'll be fine but this evening, it's all about us," he added, smiling as he began to start undressing himself, making it perfectly clear the direction in which their evening was going to go.
Harry couldn't help but smile as he watched Steve undo each button with agonizing slowness. The super soldier rather enjoying the lust filled emerald eyes that were wide and full, the pupils pinpricks of black in a sea of green. The problem was that each of them had a three piece suit on and shirt, so many buttons to fiddle with and delay the inevitable.
"Taking too long," Harry declared, pulling his wand from the holster where he had been keeping it, with a little difficulty thanks to his tipsiness. Steve didn't even have a chance to comment before Harry waved the wand, the magic washing over both of them and leaving them completely naked.
"That's one way to do it," Steve said in amusement as he knelt on the bed between Harry's legs, pushing them apart at the knees. Harry was more than willing to accept him there, using his wand to summon the lube to them before discarding his wand to the side, not really caring where it ended up, only caring that he and his new husband spent their wedding night joined together physically.
"There were too many buttons," Harry said with a giggle as Steve began to kiss at the crook of his neck, nibbling gently at his skin as the younger of the two of them reached between them and grabbed hold of his husband's erection, stroking it tenderly. The super soldier groaned at the contact, knowing that he was so turned on that he wasn't going to last long, especially if Harry kept touching him in that way.
"Slow," Steve said with a gasped breath, feeling his belly start to tighten with the impending orgasm and he didn't want to come now, he wanted to come when he was inside of his husband. Removing Harry's hand, Steve pinned them both to the bed and kissed him for all he was worth, a kiss that left them both breathless, gasping for air. Harry arched his back, pushing his erection up to rub against Steve's, the super soldier just smiling at the man he loved, needing a moment to maintain his control.
"I need you," Harry said, hands suddenly freed as Steve began to kiss his way down Harry's chest, sucking and nibbling in all the places that he knew drove his younger husband wild.
Steve paused, long enough to look up Harry's body, and for his husband to realise that he had stopped and meet his eye. "You've got me," he promised, "till death do us part" he added, holding Harry's gaze as he continued to kiss his way down Harry's body.
"Yes! Though, just because we have forever," Harry gasped out, his back arching up, trying to get more from his husband, "doesn't mean you have to tease for me that long." Steve chuckled deeply but didn't pick up the pace, enjoying the wanton, desperate moans that Harry was giving.
Now that they were both fully undressed, the super soldier found himself face-to-face with the proof of just how much his husband wanted him right now, and so teasingly licked his way up the underside of Harry's cock. Steve knew exactly the right places to touch, caress and even tickle at his lover to get the reactions that he loved and with Harry a little drunk it was even better to hear him giggle and groan in pleasure almost simultaneously.
"What if I like it?" Steve asked, rather enjoying just how crazy he was driving his lover. Without any warning he took Harry's erection into his mouth fully, swallowing around it before starting to bob his head up and down in Harry's lap, sucking on the hard length for all he was worth.
"I definitely like that," Harry giggled a little breathlessly, his fingers threading into Steve's hair, gasping as the delicious sensation of his husband's lips wrapped around his length. He squirmed, giggling again as Steve's fingers brushed over his hip, tickling him again.
Taking his lover's erection all the way to the back of his throat, suppressing his gag reflex, Steve swallowed again and this time it had the delightful consequence of Harry letting out a gasp of air before emptying his load into Steve's willing mouth. Though the super soldier still did not relent, continuing to suck at Harry's cock, wanting to keep him hard, one hand moving from the younger man's hip to his entrance while the other reached for the lube.
Harry was so lost in his post orgasmic haze that he wasn't expecting for the intrusion to his entrance until Steve had one finger slicked with lube and was already pushing inside of him. arching his back off the bed, Harry could make no other sounds other than garbled nonsense, too overwhelmed with feeling as his husband began to stretch him while still sucking on his hardening erection.
"Steve," Harry gasped out, the only word that had made sense in the last few minutes and it had the super soldier chuckling in amusement around the cock in his mouth. In response to his lover's moans and pleadings, Steve added a second finger.
The super solider spread his digits, stretching his husband open for him, adding a third finger after only a few thrusts. Harry groaned, pushing down against the intrusion, welcoming the slight burn, the feeling of being filled. But it still wasn't enough, even having already come once, he was impatient to have Steve inside him, more of him than just a few fingers.
"I'm ready, Steve, please," Harry moaned, tugging on his husband's hair, pulling Steve up off his cock so that he could look him in the eye. "Fuck me," he ordered, grinning widely, before giggling a little at the way the super soldier's pupils dilated with lust.
Steve did always love hearing his husband giving him orders, it was a huge turn on for him. The time that he had taken to pleasure and prepare Harry had given him the chance to calm himself down enough to ensure that fucking his new husband senseless was going to last more than two minutes.
Removing his fingers from inside of his lover, Steve drew himself level with Harry, holding himself above him though his arms were already trembling a little. It was taking a lot of effort not to just surge inside of his husband without being careful at all, he just wanted to be inside of the other man.
"I love you," Steve said, his voice soft and breathy, struggling to maintain his control, something that he always tended to struggle with when he was with Harry. It felt important for him to say it now, regardless of the fact that Harry was a little drunk and was likely to have one hell of a hangover in the morning. It was still their wedding night and Steve wanted no doubts that that was how he felt.
"I should hope so too," Harry said with a smile playing on his lips. "You just married me after all," he added, reaching a hand up to run his fingers through his husband's hair, "I love you too," he said after a few moments when he realised that Steve had been a little hurt that he hadn't said it back.
"You better," Steve said, leaning forward to steal a kiss, his hand between them to line himself up with Harry's entrance, his husband's legs wrapping around his middle in an attempt to pull him inside.
Harry moaned into the kiss as he felt Steve's cock pushing into him, stretching him open despite his husband preparations. His arms were wrapped around the super soldier's shoulders, holding him close as Steve gently thrust forward, burying himself deeper into Harry's body.

The next morning Harry woke up with a dull ache in the small of his back, a happy feeling in his stomach knowing that he was officially the husband of Steve Rogers. However that happy feeling in the pit of his stomach was soon overtaken by nausea as the alcohol that Harry had drunk the previous evening caught up with him.
Trying not to wake Steve but failing miserable, Harry threw himself out of the king size hotel bed and dashed for the bathroom. He only just reached the toilet in time before he emptied the pitiful and very liquid contents of his stomach into the porcelain bowl. Falling to his knees as Steve came in to see if he was alright, Harry continued to dry heave until there was nothing left in him and he slumped onto the cold tiled floor.
Steve could do nothing but sigh; he knew that his new husband had drunk far too much the night before, however, he just hadn't had the heart to put a stop to it, after all it was their wedding night and they had a lot of reasons to celebrate. Sitting down beside Harry, Steve pulled the younger man on to his lap and held him there. He loved this man, there was no doubt about that and he couldn't regret marrying him but he was a little concerned about the drinking.
There had been no need to drink quite as much as he had and Steve knew that Harry had history with drinking too much to cope. The Super Soldier just had to hope that his new husband didn't fall back on all of his old habits. Alcohol was one thing but bedding as many blonds as possible was something else entirely and would end their marriage very quickly, something Steve really didn't want to think about.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please take the time to leave me a review and let me know what you thought.
